The Merchant of Venice

25 Feb, 12:30pm, Midland Park

Join SGCNZ Alumna Maea Shepherd & Ruby Carter as Midland Park becomes ‘a stage where every man must play a part” in this co-operative retelling of The Merchant of Venice.


If “All the world’s a stage”, Wellington certainly is! Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, SGCNZ is delighted to be presenting Alumni and groups who will introduce 10 edited plays and hand out cue-scripts to passers-by to brush up their Bardish skills!

SGCNZ’s participation in The Performance Arcade’s What if the City was a Theatre, with its series of ten pop-up Shakespeare performances entitled Will on Cue throughout February, is the first its year of 30th Anniversary celebrations.
